Do You Think He Has Gone Off Me?

[abbeylee90]

I said I'd make a new thread earlier so like I explained in my other one. This guy I went on a date with 2 weeks ago and as I explained he said he wanted a 2nd we were meant to go out last Friday but he cancelled as he has a cold. He said on Sunday he would let me know if he wants to go out this week but said yesterday he has a cold but also hasn't been messaging me in the morning like he normally would

Abbey, let me try again.

Most people would like to have a well-paid full-time job, but you are just not cut out for that, just like a lot of people aren't.

I'm sure you would like to meet a man and live happily ever after? Again, not everybody is cut out for that.

You really do have to make the best of what you have and what you are capable of doing. Stop daydreaming and face the reality of what life has given you.

...and what was the company you took your fork-lift driving test was with?

[abbeylee90]

I haven't taken it yet ynnay

[barry1010]

ynnaf, Abbey answered you, the test/course never happened.  

Abbey's post "Was meant to but woman took forever to approve the forms" explains why

[abbeylee90]

Barsal well hopefully I am cut out to be in a relationship and not grow old and Linley why you think I'm not cut out? As for a full time job will see

[ynnafymmi]

barry,no,it doesnt explain why.So when is abbey taking this fork-lift training course,i will look on in interest.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, you've been out in the big wide working world for over 10 years now... and I think it'd be fair to say that you haven't had much success with any full-time jobs. Maybe that'll change, of course, but I think it'd need a fair bit of effort and committment on your part. Luck helps, of course, but hard-working people sometimes create their own luck.

 

[abbeylee90]

Neveracrossword I know I need to work harder

[abbeylee90]

Same with my driving 

[Barsel]

Abbey, what do you mean Linley?

You may be cut out for a lot of things, but you will have to wait and see.

As I said, make the best of what you have, and never stop trying to improve on what you have, but if you don't manage to get all you want, (as many people don't) then unfortunately you just have to accept that.

Believe me Abbey I have nowhere near what I was hoping to get from my life, but I now have to accept that. Don't give up but just try to be more realistic.

 

[abbeylee90]

Don't want to grow old and lonely 

[abbeylee90]

Is this right but my ex said my friends must manipulate people as she always gets what she wants.

[Barsel]

Abbey, you can grow old and lonely even if you are in a relationship, or you can grow old and make the best of it.

[ynnafymmi]

When is yout fork-lift driving test next taking place abbey?

[Barsel]

I suppose some can get what they want by manipulation, but is that what you would want to do?

[abbeylee90]

Barsel well you would have your other half 

[abbeylee90]

Ynn not sure

[Barsel]

No Abbey, I don't have another half. I did have one, but found life to be less stressful without him.

[abbeylee90]

So why was it to stressful?

[barry1010]

I know a few people who have grown old very happily single, made a good life for themselves; I've known people grow old in miserable marriages or lost after losing their spouse too soon. Marriage doesn't guarantee you'll never be lonely, sometimes being lonely in a marriage is the worst type of loneliness.
